Guide to Submitting Event Sources

This guide explains how to submit event sources for inclusion in Seeker Events Network.

What is a Source?

A Source is any website or feed that regularly publishes events which can be imported into Seeker Events Network. Sources are the “pipes” that feed events into your Discover Feed and calendars.

Examples of valid sources:

  • A venue’s events page (e.g., a theater’s “What’s On” page).

  • An organizer’s calendar (e.g., a chamber of commerce event listing).

  • A festival’s schedule page (e.g., “Summer Music Festival Lineup”).

How Many Sources Can You Submit?

You can submit as many sources as you need to cover your community or partner network. Most organizations start with 10–50 high-quality sources. Submitting a source doesn’t guarantee every event will be published automatically — our system reviews and crawls them for compliance and quality.

Submission Guidelines

To ensure the best results, please follow these guidelines when submitting sources:

  • Must have upcoming events

    • Only submit when there are actual future events listed.

    • Submitting empty calendars or past-only pages will be rejected and delays the review process for your valid sources.

  • Events must be published as text on a webpage

    • Event details (title, date, time, location) must be readable as text.

    • Sources that only show event flyers, PDFs, or images cannot be ingested.

  • Must be local, in-person events

    • Do not submit online-only events (webinars, livestreams, virtual meetups).

    • All sources should promote events tied to a physical place.

  • Dedicated event pages are preferred

    • Include the target URL (a link directly to the event listings page (e.g., /events, /calendar), not a homepage)

    • This helps our crawlers identify events more reliably.

  • Check the content is public

    • Pages behind logins, private Facebook groups, or closed systems can’t be crawled.

How to Submit Your Sources to Seeker Events Network

  1. Download the Source Template here.

    • The template includes:

      • Site or Feed URL → the main website or feed we should crawl.

      • Target URL (listings page) → the specific page that lists upcoming events (e.g., https://example.com/events).

  2. Fill in the template with one row per source.

    • Example:

      • Site/Feed URL: https://example.com

      • Target URL: https://example.com/events

  3. Send your completed template to your Customer Success Manager.

How Long Does It Take?

  • Crawling, QA & Approval ⏱️
    After you submit a source, our team will run a quick quality check to confirm that the page contains valid, upcoming, in-person events. From there, our AI crawlers begin extraction.

    • Initial setup takes 4-6 weeks.

    • For new sources added after initial setup, they typically take a week to propagate.

    • Sources with complex feeds or inconsistent data may take a little longer if manual review is required.

  • Event Import & Visibility 🌐
    Events are typically crawled and made available in the Discover feed of your dashboard nightly or weekly, depending on the authority of the source.
